Handles for NOE 5 cavity

[JeffinNZ]

Team.

Will a NOE 5 holer fit on RCBS handles?

A set of Lee handles for their 6 cavity will work just fine.

I have Lee 6 cav handles on my NOE 5 cav, works like a charm.

But he wanted to know about RCBS. :confused:
Anybody got both to try fittin together?

New Zealand is a far cry to be bouncing handles back and forth for a test fitting. :(

All I know is the RCBS handles are thinner where they fit in the groove areas on the sides of the mould, so they might be a sloppy fit. Not sure if the "reach" of the handles will make it to the pin holes on the NOE blocks and still be able fit the blocks, they are designed for up to 4-cavity blocks, but the NOE/Lee style are longer than that considerably. Great help I am, right!

Have you tried asking "Swede" Nelson? He usually responds pretty quicky to PMs.

I will do a trial later tonight....I have a 5 cav, and a set of RCBS handles.

I have a set of RCBS handles and a 2 cavity and a 3 cavity NOE molds. The 2 cavity mold works fine with the RCBS handles. I can put the 3 cavity mold on the RCBS handles but I can not open the mold. The back end of the mold is close enough to the handle that the back alinging pin hangs up. I would have to push the alinging pen in most of the way in order to open the mold. I decided that it made more sense to get a pair of Lee 6 cavity handles. The Lee handles work perfectly. I do not think the 5 cavity mold will be able to be put on the RCBS handles.

Confirmed. NO GO. The screw holes don't even make it to the handles. Sorry, needed an extra 12 hours.
